Olivia Munn’s breast cancer survivor story is in the spotlight for a new campaign for Skims, Kim Kardashian’s shapewear and clothing company.
“I’m so proud to share my breast cancer journey in Skims’ latest bra campaign,” Munn wrote on Instagram. “This cause is deeply personal to me, and my hope is to continue inspiring women to prioritize their health and early screenings.”
For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the brand will donate 10% of retail sales for each bra sold either in a Skims store or on Skims.com between Oct. 23 and Oct. 31.
In photos for the campaign, Munn proudly shows off her scars from her double mastectomy procedure.
“I decided I was done being insecure about my mastectomy scars,” she explained. “Every mark life has left behind on my body is proof of how hard I fought. I hope other women who have been self-conscious about their scars see these photos and feel all the love I’m sending.”
Earlier this year, Munn revealed her breast cancer diagnosis and her decision to undergo a double mastectomy. Her journey began in 2023 when she took a genetic test “that checks you for 90 different cancer genes.”
She said she “tested negative for all, including BRCA (the most well-known breast cancer gene).”
However, two months later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
“In the past ten months I have had four surgeries, so many days spent in bed that I can’t even count and have learned more about cancer, cancer treatment and hormones than I ever could have imagined,” she wrote. “Surprisingly, I’ve only cried twice. I guess I haven’t felt like there was time to cry. My focus narrowed and I tabled any emotions that would interfere with my ability to stay clear-headed.”
“Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed among U.S. women and the second leading cause of death from cancer among women after lung cancer,” according to the American Cancer Society.
It’s also the most common cancer in the world, according to Breastcancer.org.
